If you own a pup like the Basset Hound, then chances are you already know that fleas can be hard to get rid of especially when they start nesting in your home. If your pup is having a flea outbreak and your home is infested, give your vet a call to find out how you can put a stop to the invasion. The first steps you can take right away include vacuuming all carpets and rugs in your home as well as sweeping and mopping hard surfaces and baseboards. Wash all of your Basset’s bedding as well. If bedding cannot be machine washed, throw it in the dryer on high heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Some pet owners have also used dehumidifiers throughout their home since fleas require 50% or more humidity to thrive. In addition, clean any areas outside where your Basset likes to play or sleep. Call your animal hospital Virginia Beach VA for more suggestions.
